A single sheet 3100x1500mm B\BB quality of 10mm ply - Okoume Marine costs 120EUR in the store.Saves starting a new thread so...... Is there a floor packer/batten kit available? Saves me trying to order a large sheet and making it myself.
Seen one on ebay but its £80
You wouldnt need anywhere near that size, its only a few battens to make the floor level. I'm not on about the full floor
I couldn't see any for less than that when I was looking a couple months back. In the end I refused to pay their bonkers prices and bought some ply and made them myself. Only takes a few hours if you've got a jigsaw, or table saw would be better I suppose.Saves starting a new thread so...... Is there a floor packer/batten kit available?

I bought packers and flooring from my local conversion company. I think the packers worked out at about £20 so worth going to ask rather than onlineSaves starting a new thread so...... Is there a floor packer/batten kit available? Saves me trying to order a large sheet and making it myself.

When you glued the batons what pressure did you use on the batons so that all batons were equally level?
That'll do!!
Spirit level to be level with ribs?
Depends if the ribs are.level!!
On a 2023 t6.1vl i would hope so unless used as a builders van.
I ask because the batons are 9mm thick and they need to pushed down on adhesive to be flush with ribs. Otherwise it would be uneven. So the adhesive must be strong so I would imagine it would be spread thinly under batons?
It should be. However, my tongue in cheek comment was referring to how the van is sitting.
A spirit level is useless if the van isn't actually parked on a perfectly level surface!!

Yes of course. If you place long batons held down by a reasonable sized weight across the ribbing with glued down packers that should keep them level.
I'm thinking of doing it myself. I've attached photo of pre cut packers and my sliding seats with rails.
long shot but can anyone remember the size of 9mm ply sheet they used to cut the batons without a load of waste
Pretty sure we used 2x 1/4 sheets (4x2 ft) for ours without too much left over.
spot on thank you job for the weekend i think
I'm away from van/home at the moment, but if you're happy to wait, I may still have my cut list somewhere in a notebook.
aye i can do mate let me know when cheers plenty of other bits to do
@josh_mccoskery Here you go mate. Two 4x2 sheets
Beautiful nice one pal
